To find the amount of protons in an atom, you simply look at the atomic number. For example, if the question was, "how many protons are in an atom of carbon", you look at the Periodic Table and see that carbon is the atomic number six, therefore your answer would be six.

Number of prtons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is the same as the atomic number of the element of which the atom is an example.
How many electrons and prtons are in Helium?
Helium is a non metal element. There are 2 electrons in a single atom.
How do you find out the amount of electrons in an atom?
The # of electrons is the same are the # of protons.
What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?
If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)
The amount of protons in an atom is the atomic?
The amount of protons in an atom is its atomic number
How many prtons does this element have iron 55.847 FE 26?
It has 26 protons.
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
What is the smallest amount in an element?
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
What do protons equal on the periodic table?
In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.
What is the smallest amount of an element?
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
How many prtons and nuetrons are in an element with an atomic number of 80?
80 protons and 121 neutrons
What does the atomic number of an atom reveal the number of?
it tells you the amount of electrons the atom has orbitting the atom and the nucleus
